Doug Liman To Direct Tom Hardy In Splinter Cell

Another video game adaptation is moving forward. Splinter Cell, based on the Ubisoft game, has had Tom Hardy attached to the lead role for over a year, but now it's got itself a director as well, a potential August start date and even a targeted 2015 release.

THR reports Doug Liman will step behind the camera on this project, having most recently come close to collaborating with Hardy on Everest. Guess these two really want to work together, and now they will.

Hardy will play the lead role of Sam Fisher, a spy for a secret government agency called the Third Echelon, which is tasked with fighting terrorists. Liman should find this right up his alley, having previously directed Mr and Mrs Smith and The Bourne Identity, as well as the upcoming Edge of Tomorrow.
